Renault has been there and done that with the Zoe. It turns out that the batteries last so long (8 year old Zoe batteries with 200 km on them have 85% capacity still) that battery rental is a very bad deal for consumers, especially those who would like to resell their electric car. Zoe battery lease has been phased out.

Only good time to buy one is used when the battery is almost at the point it'll be replaced.
